Front shoes worn out.
Rear shoes also worn out.
Wipers squeak constantly.
Idler arm worn out.
Replace 4 barrel carburetor for 2 barrel carburetor

Gearbox grinds auto.
Replaced 4 16.5 tyres expensive.
Leaks water like a sieve.
Handles worse than a water bed.
Best bit it wastes astra gti, vw golf etc all day, my g30 maybe dying, but not without a fight.

This van is the us version of our vauxhall bedford cf van our uk van is around a3rd smaller than its chevy cousin and no v8,but I do think 5.7 is a little on the large side.
